Cold accumulator
The cold accumulator will keep the food cold for
longer after a power failure. The cold accumulator
will be most effective when placed at the front of the
fast-freezing tray. When freezing large amounts of
food/provisions, the accumulator moves to the
tray/space nearest to the lower freezing shelf.
When defrosting:
Place the cold accumulator on top of the frozen food
to keep it cold.
Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it
freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice
tray.
If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry
out and the taste i s affected. Thus, t hrow away old
ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed.
